We started off the day by heading to the British Museum. The museum had a so many rooms it would take several days to walk through them all and see all the various artifacts. Some highlights were seeing the Rosetta stone, one of the Easter Island statues and the sculptures that surrounded the Parthenon in Greece. We walked around there for a few hours and then decided to get some lunch and go to the National Gallery. We had lunch at some place called Eat where I got another ham and cheese (jarlesburg) baguette.
After lunch, it started to rain really hard on our way to the National Gallery. We got in and walked around and got to see some Monet, Van Gough and Manet paintings. There were quite a few religious themed paintings and paintings spanning many eras. We finished walking through the gallery and took some photos of Trafalgar Square. By this time, our feet were hurting pretty bad from all the walking we've done over the last few days.
The plan was to meet up with Eric's cousin's friend Jackie and her fiance (Ryan) who live in London and have drinks, dinner and a movie with them. We went to Westfield mall by Shepherd's Bush station and got there a little early, so we walked around the mall. We met up with them and had some drinks, then went to a burger joint and had some food. During dinner we found out that Ryan and I share the same birthday, only a year apart. After that, we saw Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in 3D. The movie was alright, but wasn't nearly as good as the first or second movie. After the movie, we went out for a few more drinks with Jackie and Ryan and then headed home so we could get to bed. We've got to get up early tomorrow for our tour of Bath, Windsor Castle and Stonehenge.
